Looking at the past is something most people enjoy, as it gives them a sense of certainty that the present isn’t able to offer. You already know what happened, how it happened, and how you felt during that time. There are no surprises left, and the good and pleasant memories are much stronger than the unpleasant ones.
Most of us cherish our past through old photos and Now I’ve Seen Everything has gathered 15 great examples of how people love taking strolls down memory lane.
